Baltimore & Annapolis Top The List Of U.S. Areas Affected By Nuisance Flooding

A recent study by the NOAA finds that Baltimore and Annapolis lead the nation for rising flood events.

William Sweet, oceanographer at the NOAA, talks about his recent study and what can be done to adjust to the increase of flooding in this region.

Nuisance flooding happens after showers or thunderstorms, not hurricanes or larger weather crises, Sweet explains. The study finds that floods are happening 10 times more often that fifty years ago. He believes it's a combination of sinking land and rising water levels.
